30 Aug Tea and Donuts
We eat donuts almost never. A sad state of affairs, I realized, that absolutely needed rectified. So how did we break the fast? With a Saturday morning family date? With a special reason to celebrate? Nope. This baby mama woke up one morning and said to herself, “Self, it’s been too long. It’s time for donuts.” We biked to the store, made our delectable purchase, and raced back to make tea and spread out the picnic blanket. Because if you’re going to break a fast, you should do it with style.
Sometimes I forget how beautiful our backyard is. I blame this on being on extrovert. (I’ve already processed with James, just hear me out.) When we’re in our backyard, we’re away from all our neighbors, all our friends, ALL THE PEOPLE. What if they knock on our door and we miss them?! So we play in our teeny tiny front yard and on the sidewalks because at least we’re WITH THE PEOPLE. I told James I was made for a corner lot or a large front yard or no fences or just something more PEOPLE-friendly. But then we spend some time back here because I forget to make morning plans, and bam I’m in love with being alone (I mean, just the three of us [four of us, I didn’t forget about you, little Squirt], which is basically alone for this girl) and having fun with just my kids. Although, there were tea and donuts, so my perception may have been happily skewed with sugar.
Suddenly our Donut Picnic was over and Corban was off to make mud madness with the hose. (Peace can only last so long when you’re three.) So I stripped them down and let them do whatever water wonders their little hearts desired. Since James doesn’t super appreciate when I post pics of mostly-naked kids (even though they’re so darn cute!), I saved all those photos for their senior slideshow and here give you this blurry mostly-naked pic. Working the system here, baby. Plus, I have this killer red nail polish on right now that screams summer and schnazzy and take-my-picture! So please accept my toes in lieu of in-focus, mostly-naked children.
